As of this build, FilmLab is officially supported on Windows 10 and 11 or MacOS 10.14 “Mojave” and newer. Depending on your system, you may find that FilmLab works for you on Windows 8.1, but this is not officially supported and you will likely run into problems.
Note that this release drops support for macOS 10.1 High Sierra.
Known issues
